Broken Hearts Still Mend
Sweet Love Gone Sour
On impulse, you sense that love has shifted to a painful disconnect when your boyfriend becomes stumpeddealing with you. So you offer to leave, and the faster you run home the better. Deep inside, you yearn for a tender arm to restrain you to stay for a little while - for another of those addictive love-making. But none is coming. Instead, your man counts the money bills in his money clip - “Do you have enough for your plane ticket?” At least, he’s making your departure from his life certain and fast.
But that is the way some love affairs end, cruelly abrupt. There’s nothing you can do for now, but honey, you will live to tell the tale like billions did since Eve. Time will come you will be shopping with your bethroted for gold or leather money clips for his groomsmen and for your wedding reception. Okay, this idea is far-fetched now. You’d rather nurse your lovelorn heart. Bide your time, but don’t miss to recall that the sun still emits UV rays every new day.
Time To Move On
Your goodbye scene is as impersonal as having a root canal done by a dentist you won’t see again. On the way to the now familiar road to Boston’s Huff Memorial Airport, your achy breaky heart is just about to disintegrate. The bastard did not even offer to hold your hand at the airport until your flight is announced. It’s time to move on - physically and emotionally.
The tried and tested formula to scramble out of the pit is to keep yourself busy at home, work and play. But these out-of-the-box tips can hasten your emotional recovery.
* Don’t hurry to replace your ex just to show him you’re still a valuable commodity like those gold money clips.
* Hang out with friends but don’t weary them with your sob story.
* Tape your deep-seated emotions and listen to yourself on the micro cassette recorder repated - you will get bored and grasp that what you’re going through isn’t a phenomenon.
* Take a break; vacation this summer with your girl pals.
* Dine on your favorite chows and exercise to the hiphop sound.
* If the emotional pain persists, see a psychiatrist to help you.
Your broken heart will mend in time, but you will experience bouts of hopelessness, anger, and guilt while on the mend. That is part of the curative process. After a year or so, your heart will be fine with all the pieces in their proper places.
